Comment on Velocity Loss Of Old Reloaded Hulls by key west florida https://shotgunreport.com/2013/10/28/velocity-loss-of-old-reloaded-hulls/#comment-23920
Sun, 09 Dec 2018 13:26:26 +0000http://shotgunreport.wordpress.com/?p=2600#comment-23920Thanks for the sensible critique. Me and my neighbor were just preparing to do some research on this.
We got a grab a book from our local library but I think I learned more
from this post. I’m very glad to see such excellent information being shared freely out there.

Comment on Ports And Taper Backboring by Bill https://shotgunreport.com/2014/10/21/ports-and-taper-backboring/#comment-23467
Mon, 12 Nov 2018 02:36:00 +0000http://shotgunreport.com/?p=3836#comment-23467I know this is an old response but in the event anyone ever reads it again I will add the following.
The only way back boring or over bored barrels reduce recoil is by the fact that since the ID is now larger; the shell will develop lower pressure and produce lower velocity. In other words, it is the same as shooting a slower speed shot shell and that DOES reduce recoil. I know some have stated that the velocity actually increases with back boring or over bored barrels but if it does it is defying physics.

Comment on Nora Ross by Fred Leonardi https://shotgunreport.com/2018/11/07/nora-ross/#comment-23378
Thu, 08 Nov 2018 18:09:35 +0000http://shotgunreport.com/?p=97822#comment-23378took a clinic from Nora about 10 years ago and what a great time
we had, she is also a great teacher, and just fun to talk to. down to earth
lady…and a tremendous shooter, and she shoots with one eye…

When I wrote that bit on lefty autos, it was before the Fabarm line with their lefty auto was readily available in the US. That’s what we get for having “Shotgun Report” up on the Internet for over 20 years!

I did write an article on the XLR5 sporting clays auto for the Oct/Nov 2012 issue of “Clay Shooting USA”, but nothing on the L4S. In the field models, their actions are pretty much the same with that expandable Pulse Piston and mainspring around the magazine tube. Both guns have left handed models available for that 15% of our shooting buddies.

Comment on Lefty Auto Duck Gun by John Titus https://shotgunreport.com/2018/11/02/lefty-auto-duck-gun/#comment-23197
Fri, 02 Nov 2018 12:21:05 +0000http://shotgunreport.com/?p=97657#comment-23197No mention is made of Fabarms L4S? I am a lefty that owns and likes this gun. I also really dislike the compromise for a lefty to shoot a right hand gun. This has become more difficult as so many shotguns on the market today have right hand cast and right hand palm swell. Alas it is a right hand world!! I would appreciate your comments on the Fabarm semi auto, thanks

Comment on High Velocity Advantage? by Kev https://shotgunreport.com/2013/10/04/high-velocity-advantage/#comment-22932
Fri, 12 Oct 2018 06:00:41 +0000http://shotgunreport.wordpress.com/?p=2508#comment-22932I changed to high velocity 24gram loads as a means of conserving shot. I drip my own from various scrap lead, some pure lead others of various alloys, but all mixed in the final run through the dripper. I was warned the higher velocity would disperse the patterns and once I had settled on my target load I went to the pattern plate to see just what the difference was. My standard 28gram load, 1200fps, run through skeet choke gave a reasonably even density over the 30′ circle but the 1400fps loading of 24 grams was badly blown out. I changed to IC chokes and the pattern gained a little density, then I went to M choke and the pattern density came very close to matching the density of the slower 28 gram load. I was using Federal wads in the slower load and Gaulandi wads in the faster loads. Once I ascertained the pattern density I then went to the clay targets and found that I was hitting (completely powdering) the clays far more emphatically with the 1400fps loads even though their was 4 grams less shot. I have checked my shot for hardness and it runs a bit harder than the factory ammo shot that I tested. One other point I will add, I often use reclaimed shot from the hill at the back of our range, so called “deformed” shot, and to be honest I cannot see any difference with it and new shot, the targets all disappear in a puff of dust.

Comment on 390 Custom Gas Spring by Ed Sybert https://shotgunreport.com/2018/10/09/390-custom-gas-spring/#comment-22915
Tue, 09 Oct 2018 13:17:19 +0000http://shotgunreport.com/?p=97649#comment-22915Cole also sells a set of 6 Beretta 390 gas vent springs, color coded to identify the nominal pounds of pressure needed to compress each spring. The user can select the spring that produces a 6′ – 8′ hull ejection distance. I’ve used my set for about 5-6 years and have had no link breakage or other problems. The set of 6 allows you to “fine tune” your particular shotgun/barrel/load. Happily, my back-up 390 likes the next stronger spring (both mainsprings are replaced at about 10K rounds). -Ed
